TropicSSL has quite nice API, but I think it would require API changes
(cipher suites) to get full advantage of "dynamic construction" of
algorithms (block cipher + mode + mac = authenticated stream cipher)
and kripto API is not finished yet so I can't really say.

Unless someone really takes a deep look (vulnerabilities, TLS 1.2)
into tropicssl, I think it's better to use PolarSSL for now despite
GPL.
